Karen is such a good story-teller. I felt what the characters were going through and it made me nervous. The author placed me right in the middle of it all. I hated being reminded of how horribly women where treated during the timeframe of this story. Young, old, black, white, slave or affluent, it didn't seem to matter..I encourage anyone who loves a good story where you can become swept away in to read this one. Well done Karen Perkins! I can't wait for more...

Ill Wind A Caribbean Pirate Adventure Novella Valkyrie Series Book 2 edition by Karen Perkins Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
The story was interesting enough but it turned out to be merely an installment! I love a good series but each book must be complete - otherwise it's a SERIAL not a series. I won't buy the next part of the story on principle,
Perkins does a great job of creating characters you'll either love, or love to hate. I encountered "Dead Reckoning" first, as part of a boxed set, and halfway through it I was already looking for her other Valkyrie stories. "Ill Wind" provides the histories of many characters from "Dead Reckoning," serving - in my opinion - as a well-written and appropriately lengthy prologue. I particularly enjoyed the locations and the historical settings as described in both books.
Usually not a bit fan of historical fiction, unless it's European based. Although the author did an excellent job of pulling out the interesting elements of the story being told without bogging it down with too much history. Not knowing a thing about Caribbeans in this time period didn't slow down the reading at all.
My own issue was the abrupt ending, or lack there of. The main character is left "stuck" in her current situation without resolution of any kind. I realize the author has done this intentionally, so that readers pick up the other books. Still, I would have liked to see more of an ending for this one.
The author pulls you in with the characters and keeps you on your seat waiting to see what happens next. O.k. so the first book ends a bit quickly and leaves you hanging on but isn't that what many books that have a continuation do? The moment I finished. The first book I bought the second. I could not wait to see what happens with next. In my opinion the author knew what she was doing with the ending of the first book. She definitely drew me in for the kill.
Loved this book. I read this one first and I'm very glad I did, Gabriella's story is key to the books, when you get to know her character you understand why she made the choices she made in the first book...I loved her and rooted for her throughout this book, her friend Klara was another strong woman and you came to love her and you felt the bond and kinship these women shared. I don't want to say too much about this book because I don't want to give too much away...I loved all 3 books and the characters, I was truly surprised by the 3rd book and how that character fit into the story...I'm ready for more.
I enjoyed the read enough to jump online the same day and buy the next one.It'll probably keep me up till 2.30 am like the last one! The images she created in our minds of the incidents and the relationships were realistic and genuine. I liked that we knew of Erik's sadistic side, but we didn't have to read it in detail. It was just enough to give us the general idea. Well done.Keep writing!
I don't know about anyone else who read this (and won't know anyone else's opinion on this book until I've given my own because I have since stopped reading other reviews on here before reading a book because of the lack of discretion running rampant on these forums. More than a few reviewers apparently aren't familiar with the concept of "the spoiler".), but calling this a Caribbean pirate adventure is a bit misleading.
This book read like little more than a memoir. Granted an interesting one - but nothing that brings to mind the excitement of a true pirate adventure. Yes, there is sea travel and even a token ship battle at the very beginning with a couple of attempts to bring to life rowdy scenes of dining with pirates but all of this seems almost secondary compared to the main story which focuses more on Elizabeth and her unfortunate plight.
I won't try to summarize this because the story info makes it good and clear what's going on with our lead character, Elizabeth, but I instead want to call to mind the emotions this narrative evokes.
Here you have a fourteen-year-old girl who really wasn't prepared to become a wife being thrust into a world she doesn't understands. Surrounded by slaves and pirates, Elizabeth is clearly an outsider in this world around her. Her uneasy friendship with her husband's slave, Klara, is a fragile but genuine one. The two young women find a solace in each other and share a common bond in their suffering at the hands of Erik Van Ecken.
Remembering the way her own mother never stood up for her when her own father sold her to the Van Eckens, Elizabeth responds to the cruelty she see's around her. This hasn't gone unnoticed by her husband, Erik, and when something unexpected happens that leaves Erik with more control over his family's sugar plantation, he makes it clear who's holding the whip in every since of the word.
This story is incomplete as it is, which is disappointing because I was kind of hoping this would be a stand alone story so I wouldn't feel obligated to read the next book in the series if I didn't want to. Well, there's no dramatic cliffhanger involved in this that demands you move on to the next, but on this story's own, it simply isn't complete. It would be like reading a book only to find that the middle and the end pages have all been torn out. On this story's own, I doubt you're even in the middle of this so-called pirate tale.
Hopefully the adventure part of the story becomes a bit more pronounced in the next book because in the end the promise of a pirate adventure is what captivated me to read this (Assassin's Creed Black Flag turned me into a pirate and now I can't get enough of pirate stories, go figure.). I did like this book enough to want to read the next, I just hate feeling I have to read it to get the complete gist of the story.
Karen is such a good story-teller. I felt what the characters were going through and it made me nervous. The author placed me right in the middle of it all. I hated being reminded of how horribly women where treated during the timeframe of this story. Young, old, black, white, slave or affluent, it didn't seem to matter..
I encourage anyone who loves a good story where you can become swept away in to read this one. Well done Karen Perkins! I can't wait for more...
